Box for NetSuite Overview and FAQs

Box for NetSuite is an integration that bridges the gap between your organization’s content in Box and data in NetSuite, a fully integrated cloud system for managing enterprise resource planning (ERP), financials, customer relationship management (CRM), ecommerce and inventory. By linking record-specific folders in Box to NetSuite records, your team can access relevant files from Box while in NetSuite, plus work with this content in other Box apps like DocuSign and FedEx Office.

Box for NetSuite consists of two parts: the Box Files tab and Box Embed, an embedded HTML5 framework within the NetSuite record. The Box tab on each record lets users access Box files within NetSuite, without having to open a new browser window or tab. The HTML5 interface is how you’ll work within record-specific Box folders within NetSuite.
